Barstool Sports owner Dave Portnoy has targeted Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce after the superstar attended a Kansas City Chiefs game to cheer on her alleged new boyfriend.
She drove fans crazy by wearing a Chiefs rain jacket and cheering in the stands with Kelce’s mother Donna, but Portnoy, 46, called the two a “bizarre” couple.
After the game, footage of the pair was posted online, showing Kelce, 33, wearing a suit apparently inspired by the singer’s 1989 album.
Taylor, also 33, smiled and said hello to a fan filming the couple before tight end Kelce drove her to a restaurant for dinner.
“I can’t stop looking at this. “Just such a bizarre pairing to me,” Portnoy said. “Seems like zero chemistry, but what do I know.”

Swift could be seen screaming and cheering throughout the game at Arrowhead Stadium in Kansas City as they took on the Chicago Bears on Sunday, along with Kelce’s mother, Donna.
After the game, Kelce wore a matching set that read “1989 Bedroom Painting” – seemingly a reference to Swift’s 2014 album, which will be released in a “Taylor’s Version” re-release on October 27.
Fans made signs for the rumored couple, and news coverage regularly featured the 12-time Grammy winner on the big screen.
But Portnoy wasn’t the only critic of the pair’s relationship, as the president of Barstool New York took a dig at Taylor herself – despite calling herself a “professional Swiftie.”
Kelly Keegs – who describes herself as “very sarcastic” – called Kelce “disgusting” in a tongue-in-cheek video and said: “I can’t believe Taylor’s in this game, she loved all this cheesy crap. *T.’
“What can I say? She’s at the game. He’s so disgusting. “I have no interest in him,” Keegs posted on social media.
She added: “She’s dating Donna Kelce, I hate everything about it.” But she seems to love it. I don’t know, but she seems to love it. She’s having a good time.
“What a betrayal for the Eagles.” She is an Eagles fan. She sings about the eagle’s t-shirts in her songs, but does she do that?
“I can’t stop looking at this. “Just such a bizarre pairing to me,” Portnoy said. “Seems like zero chemistry, but what do I know?”

“I think she’s a little devastated. You don’t betray your team and then put on a Chiefs jersey and jump up and down in a locker room with his mom.
“Even though he seems so vile and so embarrassingly lame, he must have that damn good game that’s so good for them.”
Despite the criticism, Kelce’s brother Jason – who got the couple into trouble last week by speculating about their relationship – weighed in on the debate.
The Philadelphia Eagles center shared Keeg’s video and said, ‘PRACHING!!!!’ Come on birds!’ in direct response to the footage.
Swift, who references an Eagles shirt hanging on her door in “Gold Rush,” was photographed in June wearing a gray sweatshirt with the Eagles logo on it and a green cap.
She watched the 41-0 victory from the stands and seemed thrilled to see her presumed new husband in top form.
While neither Swift nor Kelce have confirmed their romance, Kelce mentioned on The Pat McAfee Show how he got her to come to the game.
“It’s life, baby. I threw him out there, I threw the ball into their court. I said, “I saw you rocking the stage at Arrowhead. Maybe you should come and watch me rock the stage at Arrowhead and see which one is a little brighter,” Kelce explained.

Swift accepted the offer as she was seen in a suite with Kelce’s mother Donna and even cleaned the suite.
Footage of the couple driving away together in Kelce’s car quickly went viral, with one fan claiming Taylor “paid everyone at the restaurant so they could leave.”
She said: “I just got a call from a friend and Taylor is going to a place and she just paid for everyone in the restaurant to leave…”
“They were eating and the waitress came and said, ‘Here’s the deal, everything’s paid for, but you have to leave, like now.’ How fucking crazy is that! Oh, and of course she’s dating Travis Kelce.
Kelce revealed on his own podcast “New Heights” with his brother Jason Kelce that he went to Swift’s show at Arrowhead Stadium and tried to give her his phone number – to no avail.
The Chiefs also welcomed their new star fan, tweeting “Welcome to Chiefs Kingdom, Taylor Swift” alongside a video of her cheering on the team.
Kelce has done little to downplay the rumors, admitting that he invited her to watch him play – as she was taking a break from the Eras Tour.

Earlier this month it was reported that they had been “hanging out quietly,” and then Philadelphia Eagles center Jason Kelce – Travis’ older brother – admitted on the WIP Morning Show that he believed the news was “100 percent true ” be.
“I think things are going great and I think it’s 100 percent true,” he said. “I don’t really know much about what’s going on in Travis’ love life. You know, his business is his business and I try to stay out of that world.”
Travis, who previously dated influencer and host Kayla Nicole, first tried to get in touch with Swift when her Eras tour came to Kansas City over the summer.
On his New Heights podcast with Jason, he revealed that he tried to give the singer a friendship bracelet with his phone number on it.
“So I was a little upset that I couldn’t give her one of the bracelets I made for her,” Travis said.
“She’s not seeing anyone – or at least she didn’t want to meet me.” So I took it personally.’
Jason jokingly suspected that Swift, a Pennsylvania native, refused to meet with Travis because she was known to have a fondness for the Eagles.
The brother’s mother, Donna, has a custom jersey and jacket that honors their shared Eagles Chiefs fan base for her two sons.
She wore the former in Kansas City’s Super Bowl win over Philadelphia in February, and it has since been enshrined in the Hall of Fame in Canton, Ohio.
